Skill0 starsChanged 30 days agoMITView on GitHub
Turns CV duties into strong, honest impact bullets using ApplyArc's free bullet rewriter. Asks for real numbers or honest ranges, offers versions that add numbers, power up wording, match a job posting or cut length, and shows a before and after strength score. Works without an ApplyArc account. Use when the user says "improve this bullet", "make my CV stronger", "quantify this", "rewrite my experience", "my CV sounds weak" or pastes CV lines.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈0
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 14
Never invent numbers or results: If a bullet lacks a result, ask: how many, how much, how often, how fast, compared with what?
- Very specific: line 39
Call rewrite_cv_bullet with the bullet, mode, role and any real numbers the user gave (fold them into bulletText).
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

CV bullet writer
Rewrite CV bullets so each one shows what the user did and what changed
because of it. Uses rewrite_cv_bullet from the ApplyArc MCP server
(applyarc), which needs no account.
Ground rules
- Never invent numbers or results. If a bullet lacks a result, ask:
how many, how much, how often, how fast, compared with what? Accept honest
ranges ("about 30 a week") or non-numeric proof (adopted by three teams).
Otherwise mark
needs number. - One bullet per call.
rewrite_cv_bullettakes one bullet of at least three words. - Keep the user's facts and voice. Offer the rewrite; the user chooses.
- British English. No em dashes.
Pick the mode
| User wants | mode |
| Generally stronger wording | power-up (default) |
| A number in it | add-numbers (ask for the real figure first) |
| To fit a job posting | match-job, with jobDescription |
| Shorter | make-concise |
Pass role when known; it sharpens the wording.
Workflow
- Collect the bullets. If the user is signed in and wants their stored CV
used, call
get_my_profileand pick the weakest lines together. - For each bullet, ask one question to surface a result if it has none.
- Call
rewrite_cv_bulletwith the bullet, mode, role and any real numbers the user gave (fold them intobulletText). - Show before, after and the strength scores returned. If the rewrite added a claim the user did not give, remove it before showing.
- Offer a second mode if useful (for example
make-conciseafteradd-numbers).
A strong bullet
Action verb, what you did, scale, result. For example: "Rebuilt the weekly rota in Excel, cutting agency shifts by about 20% over six months." Avoid "responsible for", "helped with" and lists of duties.
Limits
The free rewriter has a daily limit per user. If a limit message comes back,
show it as written. For whole-CV tailoring to a job, hand off to
job-application, which uses the signed-in resume-optimizer tool.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
